'Jersey Shore's Situation, Ronnie fight in new episode to air before MTV VMAs - video

Jersey Shore will air a special episode ahead of this weekend's MTV Video Music Awards.

A new installment of the MTV show's fourth season will premiere at the one-off time of 7pm ET/PT as the lead-in to the VMAs. The same episode will encore next Thursday at 10pm ET/PT on MTV, with Jersey Shore: After Hours following at 11pm ET/PT.

MTV has teased that the episode will see "tensions between Mike and Ronnie come to a shocking head and threaten to disrupt the balance of the house", while viewers will also learn "what led up to Mike's highly speculated about hospitalization during season four filming - and fans will be shocked by the truth".

Bennett said in a statement: "It was a thrill to record with Amy Winehouse, and when you listen to the recording of 'Body and Soul', it is a testament to her artistic genius and her brilliance as one of the most honest musicians I have ever known."
